Moto Gp commentary cliches.

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by funkyrimpler, Oct 6, 2012.

  1. I love to hear the commentators whittering on and trying to be clever on TV...Steve Penis and Charlie Cocks being two of my favourites. Lets start a list of commentators standard scripted quotes and one liners...only the most annoying and over employed cliches please..We can always start a separate thread for true wit and reparte..(video link to youtube would be nice)..No longer used cliches such as 'laying down a big darkie' should be clearly marked.

    Here's a few of my choices to get things started:

    1: Those big carbon brakes.
    2: Nightmare in a bubble cart (wtf does that even mean).
    3: Staring down the barrel of a podium (ditto).

  2. Needed that like a 3rd armpit
    Across the stripe they go
    Put the magnets on
    The other rider is in a different postcode
    That's shot the fox.

    Yawn.....

  3. I for one find Toby Moody much more annoying. Although granted, that Charlie Cox is a twunt.

  4. Couldn't agree more. Although Smashey and Nicey on Eurosport are quite knowledgeable, that is far outweighed by the sheer amount of drivel they spout and their elongated intonations and inane witticisms. :biggrin:

  5. I spat my brew out when one of them said Rossi had the hard rubber in the rear

  9. Laying the hammer down..wtf??

    that muppet who was not so secretly in love with Foggy, Julian Ryder, was always going on about him 'lighting up the rear tyre'...every single bloody race...or he would be stuttering and stammering as he would either breathlessly exclaim,'FOGGGGGY', for absolutely no reason...or crap like, 'But its this man, Carl Fogarddy, King Carl leading the race in 8th place'.

  10. A gem from BSB:

    "this is blokes racing now proper blokes racing this"

    ... as opposed to what exactly?

  11. Criticise BBC MotoGP commentary if you wish and it amuses - why not? But compared to the whole low-rent affair which is bike racing on ITV, it's fantastic. Watched road racing at the Dundrod and BSB last week and it was appalling. More like watching ads interspersed with a few mins of bikes. The commentary was dire too, consisting essentially of "Ahhh!" and "Woah!" and "Ooooo!". Actually so crap it wasn't really worth looking at.

  13. One that always sticks in my mind was Whitham commentating some years ago on WSB (Eurosport) and the line was that overtake was as smooth as a cucumber
